Chapter two : clashed with an arrogant but charming billionaire

"Alexia, Alexia," A young boy of about ten years old ran into a room as he hopped on a bed where a beautiful young lady cuddled herself with her hands wrapped around a pillow. Merely looking at him anyone would tell that the damsel on the bed was his sister.

"Alexia," he shook her arm vehemently.

"Go away Max," she turned to the other side of the bed as she covered her ears with the pillow.

"You need to get up, it's past nine already,"

"I don't care," she groaned.

"Today is your first audition, and it starts by ten," Max continued shaking her arm but seeing she wasn't getting up he hopped down the bed swiftly making his way towards the window.

He tried pushing the curtains open but since he couldn't he ran down to a cupboard opposite her bed as he took up Alexia's guitar which leaned on the left side of the cupboard.

Alexia exhaled when she noticed the place get calm and after a while she heard the sound of her strings playing one of her favourite songs and immediately her eyes fluttered open.

She sat up from the bed with her long brunette hair scattered then glanced towards her little brother who was still playing the strings. "What are you doing Max?" she asked In a dizzy tone pressing her right eyes with her clenched fist.

His eyes widened as he dropped the guitar. "Thank goodness you are awake. You have to get up now or you will miss your audition," he said with an extravagant countenance and his hands spread out as Alexia drifted her gaze towards the wall clock hanging beside her room door.

"Nine thirty!" Alexia exclaimed as she hopped down her bed swiftly making her way towards her wardrobe then opened it. She took out her blue Jean trouser, white top and a red striped shirt as she rushed into the bathroom.

About five minutes later, she rushed back into her room all dressed up as she grabbed her notepad which her mother had bought for her on her recent twenty three birthday.

"Here! Your guitar," said Max as he stretched out her guitar which he had already put in the case to her.

"Thanks, I love you so much," Alexia pecked him beside his head after taking it. "Tell mom I'll be back soon after the audition," she said while leaving the room.

'Oh my goodness, I'm late,' Alexia screamed in her mind when she ran out of the house as she hung her guitar across her shoulder swiftly making her way to her bicycle which was towards the right.

She got on the bike as she zoomed off, her hair flaunting backwards and her mind racing.

'What if I don't make it on time? what if I miss the audition?' She shook her head at the glimpse of her negative thoughts. 'Believe in yourself Alicia, you've got this,'

Her lips kept moving throughout the long ride until she took her final left turn when she had sight on the large building across the road.

She stopped her ride as she glanced at her wrist watch. "Fifty minutes past nine. I made it," she whispered to herself then looked forward as a beautiful smile spread across her face.

She stepped on her bicycle pedal but just before she could ride across the road she was knocked down by a black flashy jeep.

"Ouch," she sat up gently then turned to the jeep as she watched the driver come out of the car.

"Are you okay," the driver said as he walked up to her.

"What? How will I be okay?" She frowned at him.

"I am sorry, let me help you up," the driver stretched his hand out to her but she ignored him as she stood on her feet then turned to her bike which was wrecked at the front.

'They ruined it,' she thought to herself sadly then turned to the car as though the front glass she could see a young man with his legs crossed and his gaze on a newspaper.

"What…" Alexia shook her head as she gritted her teeth in anger. She walked past the driver towards the back seat side window. "Hey!" she banged the glass. "Hey!"

"You have to stop that young lady, you will get yourself in trouble," the driver walked up to her as she turned to him.

"Don't you dare stop me or I'll…" she stopped her lips then rolled her eyes back to the glass. "Hey! are you crazy or what? have you grown deaf! huh! Hey!" She banged the glass again as the driver caught her hand.

"Ish…" Alexia hissed as she turned slowly to the driver. "Didn't I warn you not to touch my hand!" she scolded him as the people passing by stopped to see what was happening.

"It's Okay. Eric, let her go," Richard said from inside the car as Alexia turned to see that the window glass was rolled down and the man in the car was looking at her.

Alexia paused as she stared at his blue pointy eyes then ran her gaze down to his fair skin to his slightly noticeable beards. No doubt he was very wealthy.

Why is he so charming? She swallowed then stared down at his lovely lips which were slowly moving.

"Did you understand all I just said?" Richard asked.

"Huh?" Alexia parted her lips and He frowned at her.

"Are you stupid or what?"

"Ish…" She bit her lower lips slightly then grind her teeth. "Now, Listen to me. I don't know the nonsense you have been saying all this while and I don't care to know, but what I know is that you must get me a new bike,"

"Do you know who you are talking to?" Richard squints his eyes at her.

"I don't know and I don't care to know, the only thing I care about is that you must fix my ride," She replied rudely.

'Such nerve,' Richard thought as he seized her from her head to her legs then shifted his gaze to his driver. "Get back in the car Eric, I don't have time I'm already running late,"

"What!" Alexia exclaimed as she watched the driver enter the car and she turned back to Richard. "You…"

"Shush!" Richard stopped her. "Listen to me young lady, the next time you interrupt my ride I will make your life miserable, and you will wish you never got in my way in the first place,"

"Huh," Alexia chuckled as she rolled her tongue upwards. "Do you think money is everything, I can…"

Richard rolled up the window before she could complete her statement then looked forward to Eric. "Drive,"

"Hey!" Alexia banged the window glass as the car drove off. "Hey!" she screamed then took off her shoes as she threw it towards the moving vehicle.
